Sue, Thank you so much if you knew how much this meant to me. You might have found something I see there is a "Margaret" she did have a sister and I did meet her. I'll run this by my son maybe he can get his dad to open up or at least give him a copy of her death cetificate. If he has a birth certificate, also. Yes Mozella being an unually name I thought I'd be able to find it. I even know where she is buried. Again more than you know thank you... Cecile cecile/sis
Cecile, If you know where she is buried, then by all means contact the office at the cemetery and ask for copies of the burial records. This will give you a lot of information, including the name of the funeral home. Then contact the funeral home and ask for their records, which will give you even more than the cemetery has.....cause of death, name of the attending doctor, her address, who paid for the funeral.....maybe even a copy of her obituary is on file there (and if not, it will give you the burial date, so you can search newspapers between the date of death and date of funeral to find it.) I suggest you also try to obtain a copy of the marriage license. There is info on there, too....like parents, current occupation and residence, etc. Just a note about researching this woman.....anything within the last 50-100 years is subject to all these new privacy laws. In order to obtain information, they require that you be next-of-kin. But you can get around it by having one of your sons do the requesting for you.
